The Judicial Election The political situation is somewhat of a doubtful quality just now. The attempt on the part of the Republicans and Democrats to parcel out the judicial honors has resulted in a stalemate in this, that neither the Republicans nor Democrats feel called upon to exert themselves upon a program so devoid of their making; hence a general apathy has taken charge of both camps, and at this writing it looks as though the Socialists will win, if something is not done before the 6th, to arouse the partisan spirit of the rank and file of the two old parties. Then, too, the average voter is too obsessed with the war conditions to think of anything else. There are those who believe that no person holding elective office should be returned. That new men with new or old ideas are demanded at the helm in order to run the ship of state aright. It is argued that the present office-holding hegira of the country have brought about a situation that has sent the necessities of life so high that it requires an airplane to get in flirting distance of a square meal. That if the voter does not do something, he stands in imminent danger of not only losing his liberty, but of starving as well, and while these things are being considered, the Socialists are making a heroic effort by pamphlets delivered by hand to each and every home in the city, in which the principles and views of Socialism are set forth, which on paper appear to lower the price of things to eat and to enlarge the sphere of liberty. Herein lies the danger to the success of the Republican and Democratic judicial ticket on November 6, next. Second Ward. Down in the Second Ward the political kettle is beginning to spout just a little. The Hon. Oscar De Priest, who served so ably as Councilman two years preceding 1917 that his friends are clamoring for his return, has already shied his castor into the arena, while Major R. R. Jackson, who made a splendid record on most matters in the legislature, can be seen astride the Aldermanic fence, looking wistfully at the Aldermanic melon. To him it looks larger, sweeter and more juley than his legislative melon that he has devoured for the last three sessions, and his friends all say he is a glutton for melon. If these two gladiators get into the ring the fur, or perhaps it would be more proper to say the wool, will fly. Seriously speaking, it has been rumored that the attempt to advertise Major Jackson as an Aldermanic entrant is for the sole purpose of dividing the Colored vote and getting them so fighting mad with one another that the present Alderman, who, by the way, has not been a bad one, can come in and capture the stakes in the Primary. The Negro people have always been resourceful in fighting another, but I do not believe they are so narrow as to carry a fight to this extent. Every man may aspire for Aldermanic honors who lives in the ward who chooses to. No man should be thought ill of on that account, but the voter should have discretion and brains enough to know that only one can be nominated and elected, and that one should be chosen who has demonstrated his ability to serve. When this has been made the measure of fitness, the lists will not be very large. U. S. Senator. Mayor William Hale Thompson and his candidacy for the United States Senate has been a silencer to the Deene, McCormick and Chiperfield booms. Are these gentlemen afraid that their entry will give the Mayor an opportunity that he is looking for, a chance in a four-cornered fight, or is it too early to be considering candidates for the United States Senate that is to be elected a year hence? The voters are interested somewhat in this United States Senatorship, and will, no doubt, give the aspirants a great deal more consideration than the once over before they vote. The select citizens' committee which was in evidence during the departure of the Eighth Begiment with such eminent citizens as Edward H. Wright, who was lately arrested, convicted and fined in an open court of record for gambling, and his friend, Col. William Base, late president of the Hob Nob gambling club, which was located at 3453 South State street, who was indicted last December by the Honorable State's Attorney and his Cook county grand jury along with the many other gamblers, entertained the idea that they were putting something over on somebody, but even if they did succeed in having several highly respectable preachers to fall for them who seemingly felt Hoops Landed in H en the Broad Ax -Called Rivals. y to Present Its M ture of the Office s Taken Only a F amp Logan, Hou highly honored to follow in their footsteps, notwithstanding that fact, they did not put one thing over on the writer, for while they were quarreling and wrangling among themselves as to who should or should not sit in the front row when they posed for the outlandish picture which appeared in the columns of one of the greatest yellow journals in the world last week, and while they were engaged in exchanging many words as to who should march at the head of the parade, we secured the two last pictures taken in Chicago of the staff and field officers of the Eighth Regiment and of the famous Eighth Regiment band and after marching with the officers of the regiment to the depot we went on about our business, thereby completely putting one over on the select stud poker boss who was bossing the select citizens' committee. At the meeting of the City Council Monday afternoon Mayor William Hale Thompson presented for its deliberation the name of Gregory T. Van Meter, for City Oil Inspector. As Mr. Van Meter has for many years been the right-hand man of State Senator George F. Harding, and one of the guiding spirits in his extensive real estate business, and as he is a thorough-going, up-to-date business man, the members of the City Council will make no mistake by confirming him for City Oil Inspector. It is reported, although it may not be true, that seventy out of the seventy-four precinct captains of the Second Ward have been induced one way or another to sign up for Major Robert R. Jackson for the nomination for Alderman from that ward. At the meeting of the Republican Central Committee of Cook County the first of this week the following gentlemen, Hons. Homer K. Galpin, Martin B. Madden, Edward J. Brundage, Roy O. West, William H. Weber, August W. Miller and Charles A. Williams, who will from this on be known as the big seven, were selected to have absolute charge or control of all of the affairs of the Grand Old Party of Cook County, until the close of the political campaign in 1918. THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE LOUISSE TRAINING SCHOOL FOR COLORED BOYS. Julius F. Taylor Re-elected One of the Directors for Another Term of Three Years. Miss Nellie A. Tompkins of Baltimore, Md., Selected to Teach the Forty-Six Boys Now in the Home. Last Sunday afternoon the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of the Louise Training School for Colored Boys, was held at the new country home, Parish Lawn, twenty-two miles south of Chicago. These answering present at roll call, were, Will T. Davies, Mrs. Georgia Davies, William O. La Monte, Dr. F. Emery Lyon, Bev. C. Lee Jefferson, J. Gray Lucas, Leo Phillips and Julius F. Taylor. After listening to the reading of the annual report of the treasurer, Leo Phillips, which will appear in these columns in full later on and the annual report of Mrs. Elizabeth McDonald, superintendent of the Louise Training School, which was chuck full of good ed in Many head Ax Out rivals. It W nt Its Many the Officers only a Few in, Houston One of the present free from race highly honored exalted position sound sense, hope for a brighter future and progress on the part of the home, the following directors were re-elected for three years: Will T. Davies, Mrs. Georgia Davies, Julius F. Taylor and Dr. F. Emery Lyon. Mr. Davies was re-elected president, Mr. La Monte, secretary, and Mr. Phillips treasurer. At the present time there are forty-six boys in the home and they are maintained in fine, healthy, sanitary, steam-heated quarters. Just before the board adjoined, Miss Nellie A. Tompkins, who has been secured to instruct the boys, appeared before it and very intelligently gave an outline of her educational work and the progress that she was making in that direction, was very encouraging indeed. She declared, that all the boys, from the smallest to the largest, were eager to learn. For some years Miss Tompkins was a teacher in the public schools of Baltimore, Md. She also was foremost or stood at the topnotch in social settlement work. Six or seven years she took several special courses at the Chicago university in this city, and she is the right person in the right place. Mrs. McDonald provided a very homelike repast for the directors, before they departed for the city. Mrs. Wynma Boot, sister of Mrs. Davies, and Mrs. Phillips, wife of the superintendent of the Glenwood Training School for Boys, who is always just as pleasant as she possibly can be, attended the meeting and were the guests of honor at the dinner.

Chicago's Negro soldier boys will leave for Rockford on Monday to take their places in the national army. There will be a demonstration, a feature of which will include a speech by Mayor Thompson. While the number of Negroes drafted here is not known, the appeal boards say the proportion is heavy. Eleven Chicago Negroes were awarded commissions yesterday at Fort Des Moines, Ia., where the officers' training school for Negroes has been in session three months. All won lieutenancies with the exception of one—Adam E. Patterson, an attorney, who won a captaincy. The others were Dace D. Burns, Charles C. Dawson, William S. Dawson, Joyce G. Jacebs, Anderson F. Pitts, William J. Powell, John F. Rice, Laurence Simpson, Levi E. Southe, and Henry H. Rogers of Aurora. Members of the Eighth infantry, Illinois national guard, now at Houston, Tex., will be remembered on Sunday afternoon, when parents, friends and sweethearts gather at Ebenezer Baptist church, Thirty-fifth and Dearborn streets, to hold a patriotic rally. Mrs. Teenan Jones gave a benefit whist party Wednesday afternoon at Phyllis Wheatley parliors for the Butler Sanitarium, of Evanston. No. 6 James T. Brewington, Bill Lewis and James Glen, alleged Negro gamblers, were named in true bills returned Tuesday, by the grand jury. The three are accused of conspiracy to operate gambling houses in Chicago's "black belt" and to bribe policemen to permit them to run without police molestation. These dead game sports furnished bonds each in the sum of two thousand dollars. It is claimed that Cal. Brewington furnished the Hon. State's Attorney with much wild eat evidence in relation to former Alderman Oscar De Priest and his alleged connection with grafting and gambling and now it appears with all his strong pull on the north side that Col. Brewington has permitted himself to get caught in the Hon. State's Attorney's soon trap. ALREST NEGRO AS ES HATE SOL DINER'S FARGEL POCKET GAME. William May, a Negro laborer, employed in the parcel post department, was held to the federal grand jury in bonds of $2,000 by United States Commissioner Mark A. Fooths. He is charged with eating a cake consigned to a soldier at Camp Grant, Rockford. The cake was being sent to Abe Lerman at Camp Grant and dropped out of a large bag filled with parcel post packages. Postoffice inspectors saw May pick up the cake and arrested him while he was eating it. . Political Advertis \ ) s ATTORNEY WILLIAM A. CUNNEA Warm Friend of the Colored Race and Socialist Candidate to Succeed the Late Judge John Gibbons on the Circuit Court Bench. ‘The contest to fill the vacancy on the Cireuit Court bench caused by the death of the late John Gibbons promises to be highly exciting and interesting. The Republicans have nominated Anton T. Zeman, an Assistant Corporation Counsel; the Democrats have no nomi nee, and the Socialists have nomi nated Attorney William A. Cunnes, whe is exceedingly popular with all classes of his fellow citizens and who was in reality elected State’s Attorney of Cook County in 1912, to make the race for the Judgeship. —— RESPECT TO COLORED WOMEN. No individual, race or people have ever secured recognition ar respect ‘where opposition was prevalent without contending for it. It has been often asked by the women of the opposite race, ‘‘Are the Colored men very respectful to their women?” especially those who know little of the social conditions of the colored people. There is a reason for this question, and ‘we look forward to the day when such embarrassing questions will cease. Why should the Colored woman have stich little respect shown them by the opposite race? How many of our Col- ored men allow, either through thought- lessness or ignorance, an agent or solic- itor to come into their homes in the Presence of their wives and families and sometimes even have the impudence to sit down with his hat on? Thebe people are only in the menial walks of life, soliciting and asking our patron age, and getting our money, not showii the slightest degree of respect to th people from whom they are directly 0% indirectly getting their living. Just Jong as we allow our women and -fami lies to be disrespected, and deman nothing, just so long will such insul “continue. On the other hand, ev woman should be the queen of h household, demanding respect from any: one erosding her threshold. Suppose each Colored housewife Chicago would start out, say, Monday morning, requesting each solicitor o: agent to remove his hat on entering home, it would, at least, make People know that the Colored wom: did not approve of their discourtesy. A constant opposition to these insul will bring about more respect not onls to the Colored women, but to the as well, as no race or people ean rise| oe bc 4 P 4 a / BP HON. JOHN BE.

Therefore, re- solve that from henceforth each house- wife and family at least demand respect from people coming into our homes seek- ing patronage. PASSING OF INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. ‘We like to think of America as the melting pot of the world, and of Chi cago as the center of this great melting pot. But as respects the Colored peo ple Chieago seems to be the top of the pot—where all goes off in bubbles and skum, particularly; when organized ef. fort is considered. | The world has progressed beyond the stage of individual effort in business enterprise. The most wealthy indi. viduals and those of broadest business experience and business sagacity com- bine their resources with those of others im order to meet the demands of the times, We are now thinking and act- ing, in financial matters, in billions, where heretofore we thought and acted in thousands and millions. There is not ‘a single business in which Colored peo- ple are engaged in the city of Chicago in which more capital, more ability and a greater concentration of effort is not needed to protect the business in which they are now engaged and to meet the inereasing demands of the future. ‘We need to organize and incorporate our dry goods stores, groceries and newspapers. We need most to combine our capital into an organized bank. Next to this, we need an insurance com- pany which shall insure our people to the same extent and on the same terms as the White companies do White peo- ple.

Most of the contagious diseases are contracted through the breathing tract, that is, through the mouth, nose or throat. Many disease germs ean and do enter the throat on raw foods, in liquids drank and in some instances in air breathed or swallowed. When diphthétia is as prevalent in Chieago as it is now, the chances are when you have a sore throat that you have a beginning case of diphtheria. It makes no difference how slight the soreness of the throat is, a doctor should be called at onee. Don’t go to his of. fice where you may possibly convey the disease to others. Have him come to your home. If the doctor ‘says it is nothing dangerous, ask him to play safe and treat it as diphtheria while he is proving that it is not diphtheria. By following this method you can save your life. Yoy may lose it by neglect- ing it. Diphtheria is 100 per cent curable. This means that there is a known rem- ‘edy for diphtheria, if only it is applied soon enough. It is important that treat- ment shonld be begun on the very first day of the attack. After the fourth day and when it is known to be diph- theria, the treatment may fail. In 100 deaths that were investigated by the Department of Health, it was found that the fault of these deaths was about ‘equally divided between the parents, who neglected to eall the doc- tor soon enough and the doctor who, when ealled, did not treat the case as diphtheria, but waited to find out. It is true that a sore throat may be only tonsilitis, but don’t eall it tonsil- itis. Call it diphtheria until it has been clearly proven that it is not diphtheria. This cannot be emphasized too much, for the reason that no one will be killed by calling tonsilitis diphtheria; but many are killed by calling diphtheria tonsil- itis, The important thing is to play safe. Twenty-four hours’ delay in diphtheria usually means death. The disregard of slight sore throats = hundreds of children in Chicago every year. What are some of the important things that we should do to prevent diphtheria? Here they are: (1) All cases and suspected cases of diphtheria should be promptly reported to the Department of Health. Throat cultures should be taken and sent to the Department Laboratory for microseop- ical examination. (2) All cases should be either hos- pitalized or quarantined. Hospitaliza- tion is always better than any other quarantine that may be established in the home. The home quarantine should be such as to protect the community. The patient should be quarantined away from other members of the family and only the necessary attendants be ex- posed to the disease. No one but the doctor should enter or leave, who in ny way is in the room with the patient. Members of the family who have been in contact with the patient should be given an immunizing dose of antitoxin. ‘We conelude, then, with these injune- ions: Do not negiect a slight sore throat. Call the doctor early. Do not allow the child that complains yf a sore throat to goto school. Keep t at home until an examination has een made and the cause of the sore hroat determined. Have antitoxin administered at the ‘arliest possible moment. By doing these, the spread of diph- heria may be prevented and hundreds f lives saved. CHARGE WHITES STARTED RIOTS IN EAST ST. LOUIS. Negro Testifies That Homes of Blacks ‘Were Attacked. East St. Louis, I.—Special—Testi- mony tending to show that the East St. Louis race riots were started by the whites and not by the Negroes, as has been charged, was given Tuesday before the Congressional investigation commit- tee by Calvin Cotton, a Negro. Cotton testified that on the night of July 1 he saw a number of white men in an automobile driving through the Negro section, shooting into the houses occupied by blacks. Tiis, he said, was before Detective Coppedge and Police- man Wodiey were shot by Negroes. Roy Albertson, an East St. Louis newspaper reporter, testified that he had heard rumors that white men had been shooting into Negro shacks, but was un- able to verify the rumors. Prof. E. C. Deas, formerly of Jackson- ville, Fla, and composer of “‘Gates of Praise,’’ has returned from Nashville, Tenn., where he went to secure the first thousand eopiés of his book, which has been published in a very attractive style by the A.

Brief Bits of News and Comments on ‘Men and Measures. ‘Negro Selectives Warmly Welcomed at ‘Atlanta Atlanta, Ga—Some parts of the ‘South may be opposed to the Negro sol- dier, but Atlanta, located in the heart of the Gcath, gave as warm anf cordial ‘a welcome to the Negro draft men as it did to its White draft men when they began to arrive last week. The Atlanta Constitution calls attention on its first page to the arrangements made for the reeeption of the Colored men, and to the camp activities for their enjoyment which are being organized. The Consti- tution says that these camp activities for Colored men will vary in no way from those organized for the White selectmen. Every effort will be made to minimize friction and misunderstand- ing. WASHINGTON’S GROWTH IS ‘CHECKED. A Demand for the Return of the Right to Vote to Black and White Citizens of the District of Columbia— Wealthy Citizens Being Driven Away. Washington, D. C.—Washington, the capital of the nation, still clamors for the right of suffrage. Years ago the franchise was taken away from White citizens s0 as to deprive Colored citizens of the right to vote, but like all such injustices this discrimination against Colored citizens has reacted, and it is now White Washington which is clam- oring loudest for a return to the days of surage The Washington (D. C.) Times is most vehement in seeking to have this injustice undone. It eom- pares ‘conditions in Washington with Paris, capital of the French nation, and says: The city of Paris—although some gentlemen from the Middle West don’t know it—is a temperate city, far more temperate, for instance, than the aver- age prohibition city of the United States. In Paris they have temperance and NOT prohibition. And they have visitors from all over the world that ‘spend tens of millions annually, and ‘contribute to the vast wealth of Paris. ‘If Paris were like Washington, a vote- less city, and a group of Congressmen, indifferent to the rights and the inter- ests of hundreds of thousands of citi- zens, should make of Paris a prohibition city, as Congress is about to make a probibition city of Washington, what do you think would happen to Paris? ‘What would become of the prosperity of that city, of its throng of visitors from all over the world? Prohibition would affect Paris as the war affects her now—putting a damper on gayety, on travel, and on prosperity. Prohibition will affect Washington as it would affect Paris—if the Parisians were unfortunate enough to live in a city where they had no vote. Washing- ton will be checked in its growth by Prohibition, which will make of the nation’s capital a Middle West dreary prohibition example, ruled by well- meaning and ignorant prohibitionists. Washington with a sane government, free from fanaticism, would inevitably become the great center of wealth and social life in the United States. More and more well-to-do people would come here to live, bringing with them the spending of wealth and creation of gros- perity. More and more would increase the value of the land in this eity, the building of magnificent houses, the pos- sibility of just and reasonable taxation, revenues constantly increasing without hardship, because of the ever-growing influx of wealthy citizens—and all to Washington’s advantage. But wealth is NOT prohibitionist. Ice water is not the beverage of the successful man—prohibition ‘facts’? to the contrary notwithstanding. It is not ice water that gave his fortune to J. Pierpont Morgan, although, as the doctors pointed out, it was TOO MUCH ice water that killed E. H. Harriman before his time. There may be, there evidently are, American citizens that cannot trust themselves far from the ice water cities. But these are not the SUCCESSFUL men of America or of the world. They are not those that, if permitted, would, and WILL make Washington the rity of wealth and prosperity that it pught to be. ATTY. PATRICK H.

Franklin Bray, Superintendent One young man passing on his way to a dance the other night was drawn in by one of the earnest workers, happily converted, and started directly in assisting to save others, as another who was passing in search of a wayward wife intending upon finding her to do bodily harm. He made a wonderful and beautiful confession, gave up his wicked plans and went forth to serve and follow Jesus. Miss Anna May Tennis will deliver an address Sunday at 3 p. m. The service Sunday night will be under the auspices of the Lady Evangelists of the city. Go any night and enjoy good singing and speaking and assist in saving the wayward and lost. Services every night at 8 o'clock and Sundays at 3 and 8 p. m. Look through your cast-off clothing, call Calumet 5915 and they will send for it. They will also gladly receive any money, provisions or furniture, as they are trying to feed, clothe and sleep the unfortunate—"C." MASS MEETING Miss Harriet E. Vittum, Director of the Woman's Committee of the Council of National Defense, Illinois Division, will address a mass meeting of women at Bethel A. M. E. Church Monday, October 29, at 3:30 p. m. Every patriotic woman who wants to do her "bit" is urged to be present. THE RED CAP MEN AT THE TWELFTH STREET STATION, ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD. Mr. George Duncan returned from Vicksburg last Sunday night. He attended the Old Soldiers' reunion and had a grand time. Unexpectedly we greeted Mr. Allen Thomas and Mr. Joseph Taylor last Monday upon their arrival from New York. Special invitations were theirs, but business engagements hastened their early return. Mr. C. P. Johnson left last Monday afternoon for Sioux City, Ia. Mr. Porter Johnson, of Washington, D. C., attended Bethel Literary last Sunday afternoon and is all praise to the program Mr. Johnson, while in Boston, was styled a critic, and a worthy one. He pronounced last Sunday's meeting one of the best that he has attended. A much-needed, and, we hope, enjoyably being spent, is the vacation tendered our chief, Mr. Sandy W. Trice. He will accompany home Mrs. S. W. Trice, who is visiting friends in Benton Harbor, Mich., and then spend a few days in absolute rest. Mr. Charles Hobbs left last Tuesday noon for New Orleans, La. Mr. Crawford left last Monday night on the Seminole for Centralia, Ill. After a severe illness he is feeling well. Mr. W. A. Clark is again himself. An acute attack of rheumatism retarded him an intended visit to New York City. Exceptional concern each usher gives to the many officers passing through the city from Des Moines, Ia. They are indeed an incentive to our inborn patriotism. Mr. W. A. Wallace, of the Wallace Bakery Company, Inc., addressed Bethel Literary last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Wallace, who is one of our successful business men, proved to his hearers his exceptional ability as an essayist. His diction, eloquence and thought were rare and widely commended by all who heard him. Mr. W. A. Russell is again in good health and with us daily on the job. Mr. Irwin Jackson and Mrs. H. A. Watkins were appointed to represent Bethel Literary in the Eighth Annual Essay contest to be held at St. Mark's M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, Dec. 16, at 2:30. The society is honored in having those persons as members and representatives and expect the prize and honor to come to Bethel this year. Mr. John Duncan and Mr. Mack Hall are spending the week in southern Missouri. James Matthews has succeeded Saul Shields as labor agent. W. L. Clark, Royal Chef De'Coupe, is now a la parafine. A Liberty Bond is the road to success. Mr. James Robinson is in receipt of a letter from his friend, Mr. John Miller. Mr. Miller is now in Paris, France. Mr. William Ferguson is visiting in St. Louis, Mo. The Wabash Avenue depot of the Y. M. C. A. has reached their annual goal for new membership. G. W. Trice is in the first ranks, receiving for his work four stars, which Secretary Jackson appreciates highly and he was proud to bestow this honor on Mr. Trice. He was highly commended by Mr. F. T. Lane, membership secretary, and Mr. J. Stamps, business secretary. SOCIALIST CHIEF SAYS PARTY WILL EBLECT JUDGES Andrew Lafin, County Secretary of the Socialist party, predicted the first of this week the election of the Socialist judicial ticket. Workers from the different wards brought in reports that were optimistic in their nature. "We will sweep every working class ward," he said, "just as the Socialists carried the working class wards in Buffalo at the primaries on Wednesday by a majority over all. The West Side wards will all be carried by the Socialists. We will have overwhelming majorities south of Sixty-third street on the South Side. Good reports come from the Southwest and Northwest Side and from the more thickly settled North Side wards. "The Socialist party is the only party with an issue in this campaign. That issue appears to be taking hold of the people, judging from preliminary canvasses in all parts of the city." SENATOR ETTELSON WILL TAKE NO PART IN THE ALDER-MANIC CONTEST IN THE SECOND WARD. The following letter speaks for itself: Senator Ettelson will take no part in the aldermanic contest in the Second Ward. The following letter speaks for itself: October 26, 1917. Mayor William Hale Thompson has made a public declaration that he will take no part for or against candidates for the City Council next spring. As Corporation Counsel, appointed by his Honor the Mayor, I therefore deem it my duty, in line with the Mayor's declaration, not to take part for or against any candidate for the nomination for Alderman in any ward at the February primary. Accordingly, I shall refrain from participating in any way in such aldermanic primary contest. [Name] COL.

Miss Grace Lealtad, a teacher in the Sixth Grade of the Hill School, St. Paul, Minn., has been dismissed by the Superintendent, because of a petition circulated and signed by parents, who objected to having a Negro woman teach their children. THE UNIVERSITY SOCIETY. At the next regular meeting of the University Society Mrs. Irene McCoy Gaines will give sketches of the lives and works of Ahmen Baba, John Sarbar, Mohoman Koti. The last meeting was devoted to the life and works of Dunbar. Next regular meeting October 28. 4 p. m., 5300 Wabash avenue. THE THEOSOPHICAL SOCIETY. Dr. Edwin Beckwith delivered a very masterful address before the Pioneer Talks on Health Cleanliness Proper Living Sanitation, Etc. BY Dr. W. A. Driver 3300 So. State St. Phone Douglas 3617 Night air is as good as day air, but some of our ancestors thought differently. Because they held such an opinion there are some who still believe it. For such it is necessary to teach that night air is just as good as day air. The fear of night air is based upon faulty reasoning. Those who noted the decline in health of the prowling, debauching, misguided person who kept late hours attempted to find out the cause. They lost sight of every cause except loss of sleep, and they even called that by the wrong name. They lost loss of rest and loss of sleep night air. They forgot the tobacco smoke that contains pyridene poisons, poisonous gases that insidiously sap the vitality of those who are victims of overcrowded places of carousel, and the strong drink. When the emaciated, anaemic and devitalized body told the tale of errors complex they forgot every agent of death and in their ignorance sought to warn humanity by laying the blame on night air, the air that is probably purer than the day air. The fear of night air makes many people sleep with the windows closed, thus keeping out just what the system needs to keep the body in a healthy condition. No person can live without air that is of relative purity. The air we PERSONAL AIR. 1 Illinois Highway Commission, Logical and rably Known Member of the Chicago Bar- ce of the Superior Court to Be Voted for at this Coming November. T. S.

Miss Sophia Boaz and Miss Minnie Jones, probation officers, will attend the State Probation Officers' Conference the latter part of this week in Joliet, Ill. [Name] breathe is chiefly a mixture of two gases, oxygen and nitrogen. The proportion is one part oxygen to four parts of nitrogen. Nature mixes oxygen and nitrogen in proper amounts in order to sustain life. The almost universal habit of smoking renders air impure in places where such a practice is tolerated. Since most people have time to smoke at night, there is more air pollution in the gatherings of early evening. Air that has been breathed is contaminated by carbon dioxide and a small amount of decaying animal matter. The presence of such agents makes the air impure and unfit for breathing. The unpleasant odor of the air in rooms in which many persons have been closely shut up is due to the toxins or poisons of expired air. The blood is purified by the air we breathe, if the air is pure. The blood takes up oxygen from pure air and gives up carbon dioxide in the process of breathing. The blood cannot receive proper nourishment from foul air of close, stuffy, unventilated rooms. We should have a suitable system of ventilation to receive pure air day and night for all living and sleeping as well as working rooms. Outside air is purer than indoor air. Get out of doors during the day every day and exercise in the open air. PAGE THREE PAGE FOUR Chicago, Ill., October 24, 1917. Julina F. Taylor, Editor Broad Ax: I note by current issue that Rhode Island has just had a silent protest by parade, in Providence, on October 14. The Race should be very glad to know that 2,000 people made protest against the awful Race Riot of East St. Louis. These silent parades of Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey and the women's prayer meeting of Washington, D. G., together with the meetings of protest in other parts of the country are a very fine start for beginning an effort to do something to put a stop to these outrages. But the danger lies in stopping there, in thinking that they have done all they could when they have marched and prayed and passed resolutions. I would not, for a moment, minimize these effects of such a splendid beginning, but I do want the Race to realize that we must put a stop to these beginnings. It is almost the same as if our soldier boys had contented themselves with enlisting to fight for this country and feeling that they had done their duty in defending their country when they had taken part in a great parade, with flags flying and bands playing. But we all know that unless these parades are followed up by hard work in the trenches, all the firing of guns by every conceivable active physical movement possible, the war will not be won. By our parades, and protests, and prayers, the Negro has succeeded in securing the Congressional Investigation of those outrages, but not a dollar has been raised with which to keep someone on guard to take note of the doings of this Investigation Committee. Every one knows that even in the case of an individual on trial his friends must give him their moral support and that he must employ a counsel to see that his interests are looked after. Nothing of this kind has yet been done. The 10,000,000 of Negroes in the United States have not raised a dollar to have somebody on guard at the Congressional Investigation, neither have we had anybody present at the trials of the fifteen Negroes who have been sentenced. The papers of the country informed us last week that Dr. Bundy has been extradited from Ohio into Illinois and that he has been placed on trial. We also note that the authorities there have been very anxious to get a crack at Bundy as the alleged leader of the body of armed Colored men who shot two police officers who afterward died. As a Race matter in the three months we have had to get ready for it; we should have engaged the finest criminal lawyer to be had and had on the ground to protect the Race's interests. Dr. Bundy has written here for help and from no source is it forthcoming. Please make it clear to our people that the situation now needs dollars; that the first step of our effort, prayers, protests and passing resolutions has passed, and that we are now entering upon the second stage when dollars will win the battle. I am leaving today for Belleville, Illinois, as a representative of the National Equal Rights League as well as the Negro Fellowship League. If I could only get some money to take with me from these members of the Race who are protesting against this treatment, in order that I might fight this case of Dr. Bundy's. Fifty cents apiece from each protestor would furnish sufficient with which to fight,—as it is I am going empty handed. Can the Broad Ax get me some money with which to labor to defend the Race's interests in this trial! If so, let me hear from the country at my home address. REFUSE SALUTE; NEGRO CAPTAIN , ARRESTS WHITES. Louisville, Ky.—(Special) — Capt. William Glass, Negro reserve officer on furlogh here, after having received a commission at Des Moines, Ia., halted three white sergeants on the main business street of Louisville Wednesday, and after arraigning them severely, turned them over to the military police for detention because they refused to salute him. Hundreds of pedestrians crowded around the Negro officer when he seized one of the sergeants who refused to recognize his rank. Although comment was bitter no move was made to interfere with military procedure. Entered as Second-Class Matter Aug. 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of March 3, 1879. A live newspaper advertising solicitor; one who knows how to hustle for business wanted. For further information, address the editor of this paper or phone, Wentworth 2597. Mrs. James Page, 3715 Rhodes avenue, entertained a few friends Friday evening in honor of her birthday. The members of Lincoln Congregational Church are working hard to make the children's Hallowe'en party a grand success. The Women's Protective Association extended an invitation to the Colored social service workers of the city to attend their noon-day luncheon, Friday, October 26, in the Stevens Building. Chief Justice Harry Olson, Judge John Stalk of the Court of Domestic Relations, Judge Joseph Z. Uhlir of the Morals Court, and Miss Jane Addams were the guests of honor. Mr. T. Arnold Hill expects to spend Saturday and Sunday in Joliet, Ill. Sunday afternoon, October 28, at 4 o'clock, Mrs. Carrie Warner, 3822 Calumet avenue, who is becoming quite noted as one of the many new songbirds in this city, will sing several selections at the Frederick Douglass Center, 3030 Wabash avenue, and many of her friends will be present to near and greet her. This evening Cary B. Lewis and Alfred Anderson will entertain in honor of their many friends at the Unity Club, 3140 Indiana avenue. Dancing from 8 to 12 o'clock. Jack Ferguson, the genial and polite elevator starter in the City Hall, who knows all the big politicians who frequent it, bought the first Liberty Loan Bond sold at the booth which was opened bright and early on the main floor of the City Hall Monday morning. Mr. Ferguson induced ten or twelve of his co-laborers, including several engineers, to do likewise, and at all times he is red-hot for Uncle Sam and Old Glory. Attorney George R. Walker, who has been a member of the Chicago Bar Association and who stands well as a first-class lawyer, whose law offices are in the Unity Building, 127 North Dearborn street, who was at one time a law partner of the late Judge Henry V. Freeman, is a candidate for Judge of the Superior Court of Cook County, Tuesday, November 6. He is running on the Independent ticket and his numerous friends feel hopeful of his election. Mrs. Francis Lindsay, S. G. P. of Illinois and jurisdictions of S. M. T., visited Mrs. Mary Harsh, 2963 Federal street, Saturday afternoon, October 20, while her juvenile 1,080 was in session, and had a delightful time with the children. They recited and sang for her, and were served with a luncheon. The S. G. P. (State Grand Princess) was also a Ruthite 194 of Mound City, Ill. Mrs. Willie Adams, of New York, niece of Lawyer Beauregard F. Moseley, is in the city visiting her uncle, and is stopping at the Idlewild Hotel. She says Chicago is not as demure as New York. She will remain all winter. Don't fail to stop at the Idlewild Hotel when in Chicago. It is a race enterprise. W. T. Gaines, the well known and extensive contractor, 5140 Wentworth Avenue, was so well pleased with the last issue of The Broad Ax, that he bought twenty-five extra copies for distribution among his white and colored friends. Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Winslow will celebrate their golden anniversary on Wednesday evening, November 7, at their residence, 3535 Wabash avenue. Miss Grace Galloway, 50 East Sixtieth street, stenographer for Mrs. Violette N. Anderson, court reporter, is still confined to her bed from a severe illness of typhoid fever. In this city since July 16th, 1899, without missing one single issue, Republicans, Democrats, Catholics, Protestants, Single Taxers, Priests, infidels or any one else can have their say as long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.
